Also check out Avatar Nutrition, which is relatively inexpensive. I don't know what BBM provide with nutrition coaching, I assume there's more education and meal planning than just a set of macros and the requisite adjustments, considering how much it costs....
With BBM, for me at least, it was a kick off questionnaire with goals etc and data about yourself. After this I received a pretty good document a few pages long detailing how to count macros and things like supplement suggestions, meal timing, fibre suggestions etc. It also contained my tailored macro recommendations for the week.
Each week after that there was a check in where macros and weight by day were submitted as well as some softer stuff - how training has felt etc. They were very quick to respond to this and usually just adjusted the carbs/fats a little week to week. The weekly check in didn’t seem to take much of their time. There was no formal meal plan.
Any random queries I had were answered promptly as well and a few times they supplied links to articles etc. if I was poking around some details.
In general I had a fair idea on what I was meant to be doing from BBM material previously so for me the main outcome was improved compliance - getting to within 5g if the targets consistently. I think if you were newer to tracking and diet you would get more out of it as they are there for any random queries. I was already consuming a lot of their media so ultimately knew a lot of what I was being told already.
I didn’t get programming from them as the cost of both was quite high. That would have been interesting to have tried as well to see the two together.
